Re: [WiX-users] Adding msi/exe packages outside the burn chain
Note: there have been discussions about adding a feature called "modifiable chain" to Burn. However, the security implications are massively challenging and backwards compatibility would be ratcheted up. At this point, is far more straight forward and secure to distribute an updated bundle. Since Burn is so smart about sharing packages, updates where most of the packages are already on the machine are really fast. ___ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com/ -Original Message- From: gowri.malas...@non.agilent.com [mailto:gowri.malas...@non.agilent.com] Sent: Friday, April 11, 2014 11:54 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Adding msi/exe packages outside the burn chain Got it.
